In this course, you will meet and work with a dedicated course facilitator who will support your learning and engagement with teaching resources designed by the lead academic and team of experts from the Faculty of Engineering and IT.
The course is structured into four modules. Each module comprises self-study materials and facilitated online sessions. The four modules and key topics covered are:
Module 1 - Supervised machine learning for cybersecurity I
- This module introduces machine leaning, deep learning and an overview of supervised machine learning algorithms from a cybersecurity perspective.
Module 2 - Supervised machine learning for cybersecurity II
- This module presents an in-depth case study of attacks on supervised machine learning technologies, in order to explore their potential vulnerabilities to cyber risks.
Module 3 - Unsupervised machine learning for cybersecurity I
- This module provides an overview of unsupervised machine learning algorithms, including reinforcement learning and federated learning, from a cybersecurity perspective.
Module 4 - Unsupervised machine learning for cybersecurity II
- This module presents an in-depth case study of attacks on unsupervised machine learning technologies, to explore their potential vulnerabilities to cyber risks.
This course is delivered in a scheduled format over ten weeks.
Each week (during weeks 1 to 8) you will participate in an online session where you will have the chance to apply what you've learned, ask questions and hear from other participants who are taking the course with you. The workshops are led by the course facilitator.
Weeks nine and ten are planned to give you time to complete the final assignment, with support and scheduled Q&A sessions provided.
Course delivery
This course includes weekly, live, one-hour online tutorials and one-hour weekly Q&A sessions facilitated by an expert UTS academic, supporting self-study and online learning activities.
Case studies of real-world applications illustrate applications of key tools and techniques. The workshop sessions focus on hands-on activities and examples. Regular formative quizzes throughout the course will allow participants to gauge their progress.
